The Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey team is an ACHA Division I college ice hockey program that represents the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign within Midwest College Hockey.[2] The Illini play on-campus at the historic 1,500-seat University of Illinois Ice Arena.[3][4] The university does not currently have an NCAA varsity team, and thus the club team, which operates as a registered student organization (RSO), is the highest level of hockey offered by the university.[5]
The school also hosts an ACHA Division II team that is part of the Mid-American Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA).[6]
